From the Kiwi side of the Tasman the key defence relationship is clear. 'There is no strategic partnership closer than that with Australia" Throughout New Zealand defence and security literature of the time, this sense of mutual partnership is emphasised. 'The NZDF will operate with the ADF ... in support of a secure and peaceful region'. (2) Phrases like 'historic and cultural affinity' (3) and reference to 'alliance commitments' and 'common security interests' (4) only underline New Zealand's view of a strong and essential partnership between the two countries. The contrast with the key Australian defence document of the period is striking.
